The TWU 100 website states "Negotiations on wages, benefits and other local-wide issues (known as the “main table talks”) will begin within a few days. Management has not budgeted any money for wage increases and has publicly stated they expect us to agree to a 3-yr. wage freeze and a big increase in what we pay for medical. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – that’s not happening!
We are determined to negotiate a contract with improvements in both wages and benefits. No one should have any illusions that these talks will be easy. But our goals can be achieved. We are counting on your active support to give us the leverage we need to accomplish this."
